“Investment In Innovation (In3):

A Preview of Early-Stage Medical Technology Companies

Boston, Massachusetts, October 10-11, 2005 - Program Agenda

 

This two-day event highlighted emerging technologies being developed by 44 small, mostly privately-held medical technology companies seeking strategic partners and/or investment.  The meeting drew an attendance of over 275 senior executives from the investment community and major medical technology, biopharmaceutical, biotech, and other companies.

The forum provided focused overviews by a senior executive from each company, followed by the opportunity to meet one-on-one in private breakout rooms.
